[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 3074255, member: 69478"] There's a lot of good information in here! I'll put my 2 cents in. We build a fair amount of lightweight custom rifles at Pierce Engineering, and we build way more actions for customers who are building lightweight rifles. A lot of things depend on your budget, and the type of game you plan to hunt. Reading through your original post, this is what I'd recommend -Pierce Shadow or Skele-Ti -Manners UL, McMillan Hunter Edge, Jack Kiester custom stock -#2 or #3 steel barrel (Bartlein, Krieger, Mullerworks, Lilja, Brux) -ADL trigger guard or Hawkins BDL -Pierce Micro Brake or any other lighter weight muzzle brake -6.5 PRC or bump up to a long action Skele-Ti that's 16.8oz and run a 7PRC or something similar. I reload, but I like to keep things simple and that tends to work out better for most people. Let me know if you have any questions about our actions or anything else we can do for you. Thank you!
